Several cement companies said that the market demand in 2023 had shrunk by about 20% compared with 2022, mainly due to the downturn of the real estate industry and the slow progress of major projects, and the price of cement was much lower than the same period in previous years. It is very common for Yunnan clinker production lines to build large ones in batches. The actual production capacity of Yunnan cement clinker is about 35% higher than the approved production capacity, which is an important reason for the aggravation of the contradiction between supply and demand in Yunnan market and the downturn of the market.

1. Talking about the Cold and Warm of Cement | Zou Weibin: The Cement Industry Has Experienced Winter, can Spring Be Far Behind? Zou Weibin, senior consultant and cement grinding expert of

China Cement Network, said that the situation of the whole cement industry in 2023 was indeed grim. Under such circumstances, many cement enterprises began to actively take some self-help measures, such as salary cuts, layoffs, switching to mortar and prefabricated buildings. The cement industry is facing the problems of declining market demand, increasing environmental pressure and overcapacity, but it still has broad prospects for development. Enterprises should actively respond to market changes, take measures such as technological transformation and expanding new fields to resolve the problem of overcapacity, and strengthen technological innovation and environmental protection management in order to achieve sustainable development.
